I have a wizarding world

The carriages in the convoy were filled with purple-gold ore.

This purple-gold ore was precisely the Andrew family's accumulated stock over the years.

The Andrew family had a stockpile of over three million tons of purple-gold ore, and of course, the Andrew family didn't have the capacity to transport so much purple-gold ore all at once.

In reality, this batch of purple-gold ore was just a portion of the Andrew family's vast reserves.

This time, Fang Cheng not only contracted for the Andrew family's annual purple-gold mine production but also purchased their family's entire inventory.

For the Andrew family, this was a massive transaction that concerned the family's future and destiny.

Therefore, this time, their family's patriarch, who was the old man who accompanied Andrew to negotiate with Fang Cheng, personally escorted the goods.

However…

Unbeknownst to them, behind the caravan stretching for several miles, a wizard apprentice wearing a black wizard robe with a bizarre, pale white flame embroidered on his chest, rode a steed, trailing far behind the Andrew family's group.

This apprentice was none other than Beli, the disciple of the black wizard Roman.

Although Beli was tracking the convoy from a distance, the expression on his face showed not a hint of patience.

After all, he had paid a huge price to participate in the apprentice exchange meeting on the Floating Island, hoping to gain something at the meeting and be able to purchase some cultivation resources useful to him.

But he was sent by his teacher Roman to investigate the mysterious buyer of the Andrew family's purple-gold mine, which naturally made Beli very dissatisfied.

However, as Roman's disciple, Beli was well aware of his teacher's habits. Roman was an extremely selfish and cruel demon.

He knew how terrifying his teacher was.

Therefore, despite his extreme dissatisfaction, Beli dared not show it on his face, and instead, he braced himself and accepted the order.

One day later.

After a long journey, the Andrew family's convoy finally saw the silhouette of Crescent Moon City in the distance.

"Heavens!"

"What are these buildings? I've never seen them before!"

"Look, how can those houses be so tall?"

"Are those knights completely encased in armor? So many of them!"

"It's amazing!"

Inside the leading carriage.

The old man and Andrew exchanged glances upon hearing the noisy sounds outside.

Andrew nodded in understanding, opened the side window, and spoke to the knight accompanying the carriage:

"Jason, what's going on outside?"

Jason was clad in silver heavy armor, holding a golden knight's lance over three meters long, and a fine steel longsword was slung at his waist.

He gently touched his chest with his right hand, nodded slightly, and said:

"My lord, everyone is marveling at the sight of Crescent Moon City!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Andrew was a little surprised.

Ever since he learned that Fang Cheng was the lord of Crescent Moon City, he had collected a lot of information about Crescent Moon City from various channels.

But according to Andrew's understanding, Crescent Moon City was almost a desolate, dead city.

Because of the impact of the Nova Principality's living dead, Crescent Moon Territory, located on the border of the Eastern Holy Empire and adjacent to the Nova Principality, was the most affected.

In less than half a year, the originally prosperous Crescent Moon Territory had gradually become a desolate dead city.

The civilians in the city were either dead or had fled, and the remaining residents who barely survived were all old, weak, sick, and disabled who could not escape.

But the scene before him didn't look like a dead city at all.

Andrew even suspected that he had come to a prosperous commercialized city.

Even compared to ordinary commercialized cities, the current Crescent Moon Territory had too many novel things.

Such as those towering and peculiar buildings, such as the mechanical puppets that could be seen everywhere in the city, such as those formal knights holding strange stick-like weapons.

Moreover, Crescent Moon City was the same as the Floating Island's Dragonfall City, without city walls.

In Crescent Moon City, there were many cylindrical metal platforms.

On these metal platforms were placed slender silver-white metal rails.

It looked somewhat like the magic cannons installed in the capital of the Holy Light Empire.

However, compared to the short and thick bodies of magic cannons, the metal rails in front of him were very slender, estimated to be more than ten meters long.

This thing was Fang Cheng's most powerful weapon, the electromagnetic railgun.

A terrifying weapon that could make even a high-level wizard turn back.

However, given the size of the electromagnetic railgun in Crescent Moon City, it was currently difficult to move it freely. It could only be used as a defensive weapon.

Perhaps when the Hive Laboratory develops large flying machines or giant tanks, the electromagnetic railgun can be installed on them as an airborne weapon.

But for now, the electromagnetic railgun can only be used as a defensive weapon, installed in Crescent Moon City as a city defense weapon.

Andrew was stunned by the scene before him, and he stared blankly at Crescent Moon City, feeling a sense of helplessness.

But this feeling didn't last long, as a team of clone soldiers holding Gauss rifles approached from afar.

The clone soldiers wore dark green military uniforms, had stern expressions, and were burly, looking very capable at a glance.

The leading clone soldier saluted Andrew and said coldly:

"Are you from the Andrew family?"

He spoke in standard Northern Continent Common Language.

"Yes, we are from the Andrew family, here to trade purple-gold ore with Lord Fang Cheng."

Although Andrew didn't know what the action the person in front of him was doing meant, he still clenched his right fist, gently touched his chest, and performed a standard noble etiquette.

The leading clone soldier nodded and extended his right hand, saying, "Please, the commander-in-chief is already waiting for you."

Although Andrew didn't understand the meaning of the commander-in-chief in the clone soldier's mouth, he thought it was a noble title.

"Thank you."

The leading clone soldier nodded and led Andrew and the others towards Fang Cheng's villa.

Along the way.

The more Andrew walked, the more surprised he became. There were not many civilians in Crescent Moon City. Up to now, Andrew had seen only a few hundred or so, but the mechanical puppets walking everywhere in the city made Andrew feel sincere fear.

Mechanical puppets were a type of alchemical puppets, including the corpse puppets refined by black wizards, which were also a type of alchemical puppet.

However, compared to corpse puppets, mechanical puppets were even more terrifying. Mechanical puppets used magic stones as a driving force and were made of fine steel all over. They were not only agile but also invulnerable to swords and spears, making them a terrifying war machine.

Rumor has it that a legion formed by such mechanical puppets, not to mention ordinary formal wizards, even high-level wizards would retreat in fear, which was very terrifying.

"I didn't expect Crescent Moon City to have such a terrifying group of mechanical puppets."

Andrew was so frightened that he was a little at a loss.

"Isn't Lord Fang Cheng a wizard apprentice? How could he have such a terrifying mechanical puppet army?"

If Fang Cheng knew that Andrew regarded the C-1 engineering robots as terrifying mechanical puppets, he would definitely laugh at Andrew's misunderstanding.

Compared to the terrifying strength of mechanical puppets, the C-1 engineering robots did not possess much combat power. They just looked a bit intimidating, just like large excavators.
